Painful kicks and stabbers..

I'm due on the 28th September with my first baby and over the moon to announce we're having a girl 👑
I'm 33 w and 3 days today and I've really noticed the pass few days the kicks are getting abit uncomfortable and sometimes painful.
I can feel kicks and ripples in like 4 different places and at the same time a painful stab down there! Saw it on a forum once, someone referred to it as 'fanny stabbers' which is hilarious but so true! 🤣

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Love my kicks knowing she's all good in there,but feeling very big and uncomfortable today! Haha

I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and my baby's kicks are very sore! my OH (other half) thinks it's funny that when my bump is moving up high it hurts in my fairy!! If my lo has a good big stretch I always try and poke him back into place! Although very sore I enjoy every kick haha x

Hi their I'm due on the 28th also and my girls kicks are bad sometimes it takes the wind out of me my partner also keeps laughing at just how much you can see her moving it reminds me a bit like the movie alien lol but just like you the pain/pressure down below is horrendous sometimes will definitely be the last baby for me x

I'm also due 28th and FTM. This past week my baby's kicks have been wild! It's knocked me a bit sick sometimes. And I've had a bit of an upset stomach every day too, presumably due to the heavy kicks 😬
